In short: Fantastic Event and a Great LaughIn full: This course is best if you leave tour watch at home and just enjoy the event. With the mud and water it makes it tough but you just keep on going as their is always somebody to pull you out. The goody bag was excellent. Organised to the heighest standard.

In short: Concerns about route change - Needn't have worriedIn full: A regular on this race so don't know what else to add. Yes I missed the river from last year but was glad to see adequate alternatives were found, A few hidden surprises. Glad to see a slighty different challengeDate of review: November 13, 2009

In full: Excellent new route which has got rid of all the bad bits. Mud was excellent but, yet again, we had trouble at the mudbath pinch point! After a huge wait last year, I timed it this year and it was 21 minutes of queueing! People were fed up and shivering. If this is the only possible route, could the whole process be speeded up a bit? But I'll still be back next year! Thanks to the brilliant marshalls, I hope they enjoyed it as well!Date of review: November 12, 2009

In short: One of the bestIn full: You won't get a better atmosphere than this. A moving 2 minute silence, then the last post, and then off! It's hard but not too hilly, so you can race it or take it easy. The mud is brilliant fun (and there is plenty) and the organisation and marshalling a first class. Definitely one of the very best in the UK. Date of review: November 12, 2009
